Lord Lyon 1986 Decision edit

The decision has recognied firstly that the first two men previously thought to be the first and second lords of Bothwick were actually the same man with the consequence that the sebsequent lords need to be renumbered. See: The Scots Law Times, 3rd July 1987 (ISSN 0036-908X), Court of the Lord Lyon - Lord Borthwick, Petitioner, 2 June 1986, p.2-9.

However, the renumbering is a bit more complex as that same decision made clear that earlier claims were not only eroneous but fraudulent and those claimants should not be considered as part of the title and certainly not 'de jure.' The line properly descends from the Borthwicks of Crookston. (See: MacGregor, Gordon, "The Red Book of Scotland", Scotland, private, 2022, Ed. 3, Vol. I; pp. 960-976) ThomasFAnderson (talk) 21:14, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
